Honest Stories From the Heart of a Confused, Anxiety-Ridden Catholic

Blessings and Beauty: Day 33

Today I think opportunities are beautiful. Honestly, I think it would be pretty cool to be God. Not in a weird, all-powerful, vain way, but in a people are really freaking awesome way. He gets to watch all of us face every one of our problems head on. He knows what we will eventually decide, but that’s only because he is above time. I wonder what he thinks when we are faced with opportunities. I know I don’t always acknowledge that the opportunities were sent by God because I’m too wrapped up in the moment and in myself. It happens. But now, as I’m looking at all of the options I have to help me succeed in the next year alone, I’m so amazed.

Maybe I think opportunites are beautiful today because I have been so blessed. I truly feel blessed to be in the position I am in. I don’t think I thank Him enough for all of my opportunities. But this post isn’t about thankfulness, it’s about the beauty of the opportunities God gives people. He knows just when to place a plot twist into our lives. Whether we want them to or not, the doors open. He twists the doorknob. I think they are beautiful because of the timing. The timing is perfect every time. I think they are beautiful because the breathe new life into people. They make old boring situations into new exciting adventures. They make daily life exciting. They pop up in unexpected places and change your entire life. Opportunities are beautiful.

This has been a really weird post. I’m not sure it made much sense. I’m not going to reread it now, I have a headache and a limited amount of time to publish this. I will see you tomorrow for, hopefully, a more thought-out blog on the beauty in God’s creation.
